Baby Treadmill
Kinesiologsts developed a
tiny treadmill to help
infants with Down Syndrome
learn to balance themselves
earlier. Typically, these
children learn how to walk
at 24 to 28 months, later
than the 12 months for those

Men Are From Mars
Functional magnetic
resonance imaging of men and
women under stress showed
neuroscientists how their
brains differed in response
to stressful situations. In
men, increased blood flow to
the left orbitofrontal
